I vote part it out. Or simplify it enough that you'll actually get something out of it. Because if it blows up again you'll really be kicking yourself.

im still on the fence I want to try to make it run again but if it doesnt work this time im going to be parting it out, keeping my fuel and turbo setup to build an evo next.
Thats a good plan. I'm sure you already have weighed the pros and the cons. I wont lie my evo does make me grin ear to ear but so does the galant. Its all really about where you are aiming get out of a car. There are somethings my galant will never be able to do that the evo does without breaking a sweat.
Have some fun and go NA! lol
Well, after about a year of not touching this stupid car, I finally took the time to look into the issue with the "knocking" that I was having. Basically what sucks is after my parents divorce I had to move into an apartment the galant is here but in the underground parking where we are not supposed to "work" on cars. So after a quick chat with the maintenance guy, he asked if the car was able to drive because after the winter they make everyone empty out the garage so they can pressure wash the floors, well he basically told me to get what ever needs to be done to the car done now before they have the floors cleaned.
So after some research of the "knocking" issues that I was having that I have been confused about since the day it started, I came up the the conclusion that my flywheel had maybe loosed up. So today I went to town and ripped the transmission out of my car, get the clutch off and YUP all my flywheel bolts were finger tight. So either they backed out or I literally forgot to tighten them. Either way that sucked it scared me but, on the positive side there is no catastrophic damage to my engine witch is a huge plus.
The transmission is back in, I just need to put the suspension back on, plus a few other small things, and the car should be able to drive again, for how long? IDK yet but I'm hopeful the thing is back on track. I'll update this again when I attempt to start it again for the first time in two years :)
Lol the biannual update! That's good that it's not a serious issue.
^^lol I want to see this thing running

good to hear some really good news
Well got it all back together today, needs a new battery and some other things idk how well its going to run on 4 year old gas haha but we will find out this week.
AWESOME! Needs a viiiideo. C:
Well, car is 90% back together, I just have some small things to do to it like hook up the exhaust and change the plugs also want to drain the fuel tank and put fresh non 3 year old gas in. But I did "pop" it over yesterday, didn't let it run though I want to put fresh oil in it, but the good news for the week is there is no more knocking noises coming from the car and she fires right up :) ! So hopefully if things go to plan I could have her back out in may/june if it does not break again between now and then. Ill post a video of it running within a week or so once i get the exhaust all hooked back up.
Bad a man! Looking forward to updates

Bad A! Glad to see you got her up and running.

It was smoking because since the downpipe actually sits against my oil filter I didn't bolt it up. The exhaust was coming straight from the o2 housing. I think I'm going to need a relocation kit for my oil filter or just pray that heat wrapping it is ok
